Teen Wolf/Maze Runner Crossover Book 2

Chapter 3

Stiles POV

10 days before the box arrived

After the meeting with everyone I decided to go for a lie down and as I was still feeling quite dizzy, I could feel blood dripping from the side of my face also but the main thing was I didn't know whether any of it was real or a just a dream or worse a side effect from the drugs they had given me.

I jolt up awake and look around the room to see if anyone was there, this time hoping it wasn't all some cruel dream, I walk out of the Homestead and notice straightaway how quite it was, after I look around in all the communal areas I realise it was all a dream and I was truly alone for the first time in my life.

I can feel the panic building up inside of me but quickly decided to keep going knowing that I just had to take this one day at a time and one problem at a time. I decide to keep talking to myself at random points to make W.I.C.K.E.D think either I had completely lost the plot, was seeing the others still or still had Thomas with me so they didn't know what I was truly planning.

After a quick scan of the Glade and Maze walls I knew I was in the same place as before, the names still etched on the wall, the animals still roaming the field and the treehouse for looking out over the Glade was all still there, exactly the same as it was when I first entered the Maze as Thomas.

I decided to check out to see if the Runner's hut was still there with the Maze layout and the hidden safes with the weapons. To my relief the hut was still there and was the same as when Minho first took me here, the full maze layout on the table with each section perfectly detailed, I took five steps to the right and two back and lifted the floor cover to find the hidden safe.

I open the safe up and found the small stash of knives and explosives that we had hidden just in case we ever ended back up here again, I decide to grab two long knives and a runner's pack from the safe before covering it up again. I knew that the first thing I needed to do was try to start running the Maze to compare what was different and what was the same.

I looked at the supplies I have been left with an notice there was only enough food here to last me alone two weeks, I knew if I strictly rationed I could make it stretch for a month when they should send me some company I hope.

After a quick rinse to get rid of any blood and a few make shift bandages for my head and arm to try and control the bleeding I was ready, I decided to check out the location of the Griever hole to see if it was firstly in the same location and to see if was still active. The thought sent a shiver down my spine at the thought of been trapped in here with them again, I shook down my fear and ran straight into the Maze by the north entrance.

A few hours later I safely return to the Glade, just as I step through I heard the doors rattle behind me and slowly slam shut for the night. I was feeling a sense of familiarity while running the Maze, I was feeling grateful I had kept Thomas ability to run for long periods and quickly, the sections had all been labelled the same and everything about the Maze seemed to be the same as last time with only one noticeable change the writing on the walls.

They didn't just read PROPERTY OF W.I.C.K.E.D this time, along some walls there was words that made me question things more What the hell is a Stiles? What three things can not long be forgotten? But the thing that crawled under his skin the most were the names that seemed be carved in huge letters into the wall Chuck, Alison, Newt, Aiden but the name that stood out the most which was dotted around the most was Mischief.

7 days before the box arrived

I seemed to have got myself into a routine quite quickly over the past few days, I got up once the sun was visible just above the walls of the Maze, feed the animals and myself, tend to the crops that were slowly growing, study the map to figure out where next to run, prepare for the day running, change any required bandages, run the Maze, check my findings against what was already showing on the map once I had returned for lunch, run the Maze again, have dinner making sure to speak out loud about what I had discovered but keeping the truth about what I had found to a minimum and then heading to bed once the Maze doors had shut.

Since arriving I have heard the familiar sounds of the Maze running but not heard anything from the Maze's prisoners. Maybe it was another one of W.I.C.K.E.D's tricks to make me feel completely alone and then set them loose when I least expected it.

5 days before the box arrived

I finally got back into the Glade after spending the entire night stuck in the Maze, I had got so lost in my thoughts yesterday after seeing the largest Mischief engraving that I didn't make it back to the Glade before the doors closed. On the plus side I now know for a fact I am completely alone as no creatures spotted or came after me, on the negative side I am completely alone.

3 days before the box arrived

I don't know how much longer I can do this for, I have now finally ran all sectors of the Maze and it is all the same as before with the only exception of the Maze doesn't change, its set up the same as when we escaped from here.

I had been focusing the last few runs on trying to work out how to activate the Griever hole without the key but it seemed impossible, maybe I need to realise that this time I am stuck here for the rest of my life alone.

1 day before the box arrived

I needed a Plan B in case Operation Newt failed and no one was coming to get me and I need to save myself. I started to work through my Plan when I visited the Maps wondering if I should test the box as a possible exit or do I finally just accept this is my new home.

Box arrival day

I have just arrived back into the Glade after running the Maze for what felt like the twentieth time since I had arrived here when I heard the familiar sound of the box coming up. Excitement ran through me as I jogged over to it knowing if my plan had worked who would be inside it once it stopped.

As it jittered to a stop I opened up the grate covering the lift entrance and looked inside and spotted a few familiar faces inside looking up at me looking like they had all just had a rough night at the club.

"Day one Greenies, rise and shine." I laugh when I see Minho, Gally, Lydia and Scott all waiting inside the box.
